If you are a parent of a child with autism or other learning difference who is getting ready to make the leap to Kindergarten or Year 1 in Term 1 2019, then this 6 session program is what you are looking for!

Your child will receive a program tailored to their specific needs to support their learning of key concepts in preparation for Kindergarten or Year 1.

This 6 session school readiness program will get your child on their way to starting Kindergarten or Year 1 with confidence.

What's covered in the program?

Classroom transitions and routines

Your child will be introduced to routines similar to Kindergarten or Year 1 as they learn to follow adult-led instructions, complete activities and move on to other activities.

Group Time

Your child will practise sitting in a group to listen to stories, answer questions and learn the rules of waiting, turn-taking and participating in a teacher-led group activity.

Phonemic Awareness

Your child will practise matching letters to their sounds, sound out letters while singing, dancing and having loads of fun! We use the familiar and established Ants in the Apple series that many Kindergarten or Year 1 classes also use to introduce phonics.

Letter and Number Formation

Children will become more familiar with letters and numbers as they complete worksheets, art and craft and other fun activities.

Emotional Adjustment

Going to big school can be a big adjustment and separating from carers and meeting new people can be difficult for many of our children. This area will address areas like friendships, flexibility, increasing attention and impulse control.

Language and Communication

Your child will practise and strengthen their communication skills with their peers and teachers as they learn to participate in turn-taking conversations, negotiating and assertiveness.

Motor Coordination

Your child will enjoy activities that enhance fine and gross motor skills as the class participates in games and art and craft.

Social Play

Your child will participate in activities that enhance social skills; ranging from cooperative play to joining in, turn-taking, accepting others’ ideas in play and learning about others’ preferences, similarities and differences.

Numeracy

Your child will learn about numbers in a fun and engaging way. Numeracy will be addressed in a number of ways, including counting, sorting, worksheets, songs, art and craft and stories.

Literacy

Your child will discover how letters and sounds string together and find the fun and adventure in reading. Literacy will be addressed in a number of ways, including worksheets, songs, art and craft and story time. In sessions 1-5, each child will receive a individually selected home reader to take home and practise and return at the next session.
